Texas-based DJs/producers ETX and Fresco have reunited for another remix exclusively on DJcity. This time around, the duo flips Los Angeles Azules’ 1996 cumbia hit “Como Te Voy A Olvidar.”

The band, which has been active since the 1980s, made its Billboard chart debut with the release of “Como Te Voy A Olvidar.” The track hit No. 5 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Songs chart and No. 7 on both the Hot Latin Songs and Latin Airplay charts.

“My sets consist of a lot of Latin vibes and ‘Como Te Voy A Olvidar’ has always been a fixture in them,” Fresco says. “We wanted to elevate the momentum of the track so it can be dropped along with higher energy tracks.”

ETX continues, “The crowd response as soon as the accordion intro drops… is always exciting. We felt going with that accordion intro riff and chopping it up as a lead would really drive the energy at a higher BPM.”

Preview the remix below and download it exclusively on DJcity.
